Can someone help me disassemble a vitomatic (a I in this case, but I believe it's substantially like the II)?
I have removed - in order - the front ring (via 3 screws on the focusing ring),
the focusing ring itself (via a locking ring inside),
the front cell, three screws holding in place a flexible plate, the speed setting ring. Now I'm down to a circlip, behind which is the iris. Continue with the circlip, or is there something else going on?
I'm trying to imagine what the circlip is holding in place, and how it might come off.
Mostly, I'm facing a large assembly of brass that seems held in place by magic.
Anyone? |

Why are you stripping it down. If it is to clean the shutter because it is sticking I have done this from the rear as the shutter blades are accessible from the back.
Anyhow, good luck. |

The shutter retarding mechanism needs to be cleaned and lubricated; the blades are not sticky. Thanks! |

I wish you the best of luck. I'm afraid I can't help with any further information. They are great cameras so hang in there. |
